Hyperdominance in Amazonian forest carbon cycling
Fauset, Sophie; Johnson, Michelle O.; Gloor, Manuel U.; Baker, Timothy R.; Monteagudo M, Abel; Brienen, Roel J.W.; Feldpausch, Ted R.While Amazonian forests are extraordinarily diverse, the abundance of trees is skewed strongly towards relatively few â € hyperdominantâ €™ species. In addition to their diversity, Amazonian trees are a key component of the global carbon cycle, assimilating and storing more carbon than any other ecosystem on Earth. Here we ask, using a unique data set of 530 forest plots, if the functions of storing and produci...
Climate seasonality limits leaf carbon assimilation and wood productivity in tr...
Wagner, Fabien H.; Hérault, Bruno; Bonal, Damien; Stahl, Clément; Anderson, Liana Oighenstein; Baker, Timothy R.; Sebastian Becker, GabrielThe seasonal climate drivers of the carbon cycle in tropical forests remain poorly known, although these forests account for more carbon assimilation and storage than any other terrestrial ecosystem. Based on a unique combination of seasonal pan-tropical data sets from 89 experimental sites (68 include aboveground wood productivity measurements and 35 litter productivity measurements), their associated canopy p...
Compositional response of Amazon forests to climate change
Esquivel-Muelbert, Adriane; Baker, Timothy R.; Dexter, Kyle Graham; Lewis, Simon L.; Brienen, Roel J.W.; Feldpausch, Ted R.; Lloyd, JonMost of the planet's diversity is concentrated in the tropics, which includes many regions undergoing rapid climate change. Yet, while climate-induced biodiversity changes are widely documented elsewhere, few studies have addressed this issue for lowland tropical ecosystems. Here we investigate whether the floristic and functional composition of intact lowland Amazonian forests have been changing by evaluating ...
